Laura Stevenson - Continental Divide lyrics

Fumbling for your keys in a panic
Undercover garage is dampening the
Sound of the world walking tall all over you
And taking you for granted
Your sunset's dipping in subtle time
And mine was hanging low hours ago
And although you think you’d burned it up
Too bad you still could call
And I know you're hopeful
When you are unadorned
But, I hoped that you would be unafraid

I was saying yes 'cause I
Was desperate for less
I guess the fact that we were trapped inside
That room is all I got that’s definite
And I prayed that sleep would
Take you for bit
'Til then I held your shaking
Body in my hands

And the locust din was wearing thin
In thе evening I suppose
And I knеw you were preparing to
Be leaving to the coast

But what could I do right to keep
You safe while you're in flight?
To keep the plane and all that
Among it's engines in the sky
And what could I do right to
Keep your faith between the lines?
You know I'd take it all away from you
I'm trying to

But what could I do right from this side?
Situated right of the Continental Divide

And I know you're hopeful
When you're unadorned
But, I wish that you weren't so far away

What could I do right to keep
You safe all of your life?
To keep the waves from rising higher
Than the cities in their sights
And what could I do right to
Keep you weightless for a while?
You know I’d take this all away from you
I’m trying to

But the locust din was wearing thin
In the evening I suppose
And I know that you're preparing to
Be leaving to the coast
This whole month I wasted
Every morning fixing on the way we left it

And how we meant it and you meant it
And the way you left it and how I meant it
